Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
1907 $20 Arabic Numerals MS64 NGC. In the Bass catalog, this coin was "A particularly nice example with 'creamy' and satiny lustre. A winning piece that is worth more than a regular 'MS-63 price.'" From today's perspective, this yellow-gold near-Gem's new grade is hardly a stretch. Lightly marked and grazed but thoroughly appealing.
Ex: Harry W. Bass, Jr. Part II (Bowers and Merena, 10/1999), lot 1962.
